    Please - can someone tell me what is the name of my plant. The flower is about 1/2" across and looks just like a tiny red bird. I mean exactly like a little red bird!

    Perhaps Red Bird spurge (Pedilanthus tithymaloides)?

    Thank you. I have had the plant for a long time. I have seen the blooms only twice.
    Thought it was quite interesting!
